Child Like
I feel like a child who almost drowned
Afraid to test the waters again.
A child who was given a puppy
And it was taken away.
A child who reached for a hand
And none was given.
A child lost in a mall
Looking to anyone for help.
A child who was told the story of a great white knight
Who sits waiting, but he never comes.
A child raised on a foundation of love
But now feels her own foundation crumbling beneath her.
Lost in a forrest
Afraid of the nights.
Yet the sun makes her smile
For maybe today she will find her way out.
So what will become of this little girl lost?
For the love that she seeks, will she always pay the cost?
Every night upon her knee
She prays "daddy please help me"
